Oh Snap... Surgery tomorrow! Am I ready?



Recommended Posts

The big day is here! I'm pretty nervous and hope I can get some sleep tonight! I kind of lost it this weekend and ate sushi and a drumstick ice cream cone! Lol!

I was told I would be outpatient, which means I could leave after a 6hr hospital stay. I'm assuming I don't need to take anything with me, do I?

Surgery, any kind of surgery, is sort of like jumping off the high diving board or bungie jumping. Once it's done, it's all downhill from there. You'll be fine.

My surgery is tomorrow as well (YAY us!). I'm nervous and have been very tempted to go out and get my favorite fast food to have one last taste of it, but I didn't and the urge is driving me crazy. I've been trying to keep myself busy so that I wouldn't think too much about this, but knowing me, I'll be up late tonight thinking. That I don't mind since I don't check into the hospital until 9:15 tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be able to sleep in and not have too much time to think about wanting to eat.

I know what you mean! My head is spinning over the food, but I'm going to suck it up and eat a healthy last meal and try to sleep through the night! We can do it! Good luck tomorrow!

Shrinkingchef...personally, I would bring an overnight bag just in case plans change last minute? Maybe it's just the worry wart in me.

Wish mine was outpatient!

Drink a lot of clear liquid so you get full and don't feel hungry no more.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
